The Blue Jays are the fourth team Scherzer will make a World Series start for in his career. <\/p>\n
Scherzer’s longest World Series start was his first for the Detroit Tigers in 2012. He went five innings in his two appearances for the Washington Nationals in 2019. He had a three-inning stint for the Texas Rangers in 2023. <\/p>\n
The expectation is for Scherzer to throw five innings on Monday. He lasted 5.2 frames in ALCS Game 4. He lasted five innings in two of his last three regular-season starts. <\/p>\n
Scherzer doesn’t have overwhelming stuff anymore, but he still knows how to get batters out, as he proved against Seattle. <\/p>\n
Glasnow produced eight strikeouts in each of his last three playoff starts, but it will be difficult to reach that total against a Toronto team that is one of the best at putting the ball in play.<\/p>\n
Yoshinobu Yamamoto had eight strikeouts in Game 2, but that was over the course of nine innings. Blake Snell had four punchouts across five innings in Game 1. <\/p>\n
Glasnow can still have a lengthy start even if he doesn’t strike out a ton of batters. There is concern about a long outing, though, because the Dodgers have a fully fresh bullpen after Yamamoto’s complete game. <\/p>\n
Dave Roberts could pull Glasnow earlier than usual with more leverage arms available.<\/p>\n
